Gu Chi was sure that he was not injured.
So, where did all this blood come from
He and Kang Shi both looked at Qi Shan, whose forehead was covered with sweat and whose face was pale. Kang Shi grabbed Qi Shan's hand that had fallen on Gu Chi's sleeve and was shocked to find that a wound had appeared on Qi Shan's palm, with skin torn and blood dripping.
Kang Shi asked, "When did you get injured?"
Judging from the color of the blood on the wound, it is a fresh wound.
Gu Chi said: "It wasn't there when we set up camp and moved out."
From the time the army set out to the time they encountered the Zhui Wang rebels led by Gong Xichou, there were no other twists and turns along the way, not to mention the injury to Qi Shan, a scholar of literary mind. You have to know that a scholar of literary mind may not be good at other things, but he has definitely put in a lot of effort in running away and dodging.
Looking at the wound, a scene flashed through his mind, and an absurd idea came to Kang Shi's mind. To verify his guess, he raised his hand and pressed Qi Shan's chest, shoulders, back and other parts, and felt something strange through the cloth.
He didn't use much force, but Qi Shan still frowned in pain.
As a shrewd man, Gu Chi didn't understand what Kang Shi's actions meant at first, but he soon understood. He suddenly opened his eyes wide and turned to look at the battlefield where powerful explosions continued to erupt.
He lip-synced to Kang Shi, who nodded.
Gu Chi: “…”
The absurd conjecture was confirmed, and Gu Chi couldn't help but suspect that the sun rose from the west - Qi Shan, who had always been criticized as a "lord killer", actually had such a "loyal and kind" side? Willing to be a puppet? He really wasn't afraid of death!
Kang Shi didn't know what he was thinking of.
He whispered, "I'm afraid it's not what we think."
Gu Chi said: "How come it's not?"
These inexplicable injuries were in exactly the same locations as those of Shen Lang who was fighting against the general ahead, and they should have occurred at the same time.
There is no other possibility except for the evil magic of using a puppet as a substitute. But isn't this evil method just a figment of imagination in the folk stories
Kang Shi didn't explain anything else.
Just a reminder: "The way of the scribes."
Gu Chi: “…”
Kang Shi gave him a new idea.
As we all know, the way of literati is a very special "spiritual word" and also a double-edged sword that can stab you at any time.
A typical example is Gu Chi’s “mind reading”.
Except for very few special cases - such as Gu Ren - Gu Chi can easily know anyone's thoughts, and the other party's secrets have no privacy in front of him, but the disadvantages are also obvious. The disadvantage is that Gu Chi cannot control it flexibly.
He had hardly had a good sleep since he woke up.
Even if he hid in the uninhabited deep mountains and forests, away from the noisy voices and malice in people's hearts, the excessive consumption of literary energy also brought a great burden to his body, causing him to be weak and look like a tuberculosis patient all year round, turning him into a medicine bottle.
Another example is Kang Shi’s “I always lose when I gamble”.
The way of the scholar is not as simple as losing a bet. People close to him will also be affected to a certain extent. Kang Shi himself is also in a state of misfortune. Later, he thought of using gambling to alleviate this dilemma, but he did not dare to interact too closely with others...
Kang Shi and Yan An became friends and often visited each other when they were young because Yan An's scholarly ways could restrain him to some extent.
Simply put, if you want to be friends with Kang Shi, you have to be tough!
Then the way of the scribe who prays for goodness—
Is it just a simple "master-killing"
Now it seems that is not entirely true.
Gu Chi couldn't help but complain: "If Qi Yuanliang's former masters knew about this, wouldn't they be so regretful?"
As long as you completely trust Qishan, Qishan's life will be completely in your hands, and you can also get a second life...
but-
This may be related to the fact that Qishan's previous masters were all "spoiled". Not to mention the life-and-death battles, they usually had to ride horses or sedan chairs when they went out, and they were heavily protected, so it was difficult for assassins to kill them, let alone hurt them.
If you are not injured, you will naturally not discover any "surprises".
Gu Chi couldn't help but sigh.
He thought he was the same as Qishan.
I didn't expect that Qishan was a notorious "evil plotter" on the surface, but was so "loyal to his master" behind the scenes. Ah, it's really incomparable. At this time, Qishan also recovered.
As soon as I opened my eyes, I saw the disgusting expression on Gu Chi's face.
She sat up suddenly and pushed him away.
When he saw the blood on his hands and Gu Chi's sleeves, he immediately realized that his secret was known by these two cunning people, and he was secretly angry.
Gu Chi said: "Don't be so stubborn."
Qishan: “…”
He whispered, "Keep it a secret for now."
Gu Chi looked at Qi Shan and asked if he was joking.
If the injury was not serious, Qi Shan would not have to spend much effort to hide it from Shen Tang, but the injury was so serious that he would most likely find out and the truth would be revealed after some questioning. If Shen Lang still didn't understand, then either he was blind or he knew but pretended not to know.
Qi Shan took two breaths, then stood up, holding Kang Shi’s hand.
He said calmly: "What else?"
The management of a force cannot be achieved without the advice and assistance of scholars, but it also cannot be achieved without the presence of powerful warriors to intimidate the villains and make them dare not despise or offend.
Gong Shuwu alone is far from enough.
It's not easy to recruit powerful warriors. Why would they give up their bright future and join a little-known force that can't even pay their salary? For love
Since there are not enough people, Mr. Shen has to take over first.
As long as this battle is won, it will be easy to recruit people later.
As for these injuries—
It doesn't matter at all!
Compared with life, everything else is trivial.
Gu Chi: “…”
Kang Shi: “…”
Shen Lang is indeed seriously unbalanced in both civil and military subjects.
At this time, the alliance leader Wu Xian also sent someone to express condolences.
Qi Shan just responded indifferently: "It's just that the old injury was accidentally broken, and the previous damage was too severe. I just need to rest for a while."
Alliance Leader Wu Xian didn't doubt it much after hearing this.
Qishan and his entourage had fought their way out of Xiaocheng. How could they be intact in such a chaotic situation? In addition, the road was bumpy and the injuries were difficult to recover from. Master Shen and Gongxi Chou had fought each other and their lives were on the line many times. It was normal for the old injuries to rupture under the excitement.
but-
As the leader of the alliance, you still have to show some expression.
He was ready to end the battle and asked someone to bring some good medicinal herbs over.
Master Shen also suffered a lot of injuries. One was sent away, and two were also sent away. Favors that can be exchanged for things are never too much.
The scholar in black shirt frowned when he heard this.
However, firstly, he did not go to check it out in person, secondly, he did not know what the "old injury" Qishan mentioned was, and thirdly, Kang Shi and the others looked calm, so Qishan's injury must not be serious...
Naturally, it is impossible to speculate in the way of the scholars who pray for goodness.
Missed an opportunity to know the truth.
At the same time, it was time for Shen Tang and Gong Xichou to fight to the death. It was not that Shen Tang could not hold on, but Gong Xichou had his own considerations - in the previous fight, both sides won one and lost one, but fighting was not as simple as two out of three.
It would be great to win the third game, but it doesn’t matter if we don’t.
The allied forces still had warriors with well-preserved strength who were eyeing him covetously. If he consumed too much energy here, he would be at a great disadvantage when the two armies confronted each other. After careful consideration, he decided to preserve his strength and fight Shen Tang to decide the outcome.
So a very funny scene appeared, he and Shen Tang fought with afterimages all over the ground, while he bluntly expressed his thoughts. The noise of the fight completely covered up the small sound.
Gong Xichou asked her, "What do you think, Mama?"
He was not worried at all that Shen Tang would refuse, because he was certain in his heart that Shen Tang was of the same kind as him - they could die at the hands of a strong man, but they could never be dragged to death by ants who were weaker than themselves in a round-the-clock battle, let alone fight two rounds themselves.
Because no matter for oneself or for the opponent whom one respects, this way of dying is too frustrating and makes one sick to death.
Shen Tang pondered for a moment.
After a heavy blow to Gong Xichou, he quickly pulled away.
She was soaked with sweat, which diluted the blood from the wound and brought waves of intense pain. After the hard fight, her breathing became rapid, and her chest rose and fell rapidly. Although she was in a state of embarrassment, she still raised her head and proudly accepted the task.
"In that case, as you wish!"
Gong Xichou laughed: "Whatever tricks you have, just use them!"
Shen Tang is definitely the most difficult opponent he has ever met in his life.
He is also looking forward to the other party bringing him new surprises.
Shen Tang naturally would not let him down.
She swung the sword.
Shake off the blood on the sword.
The Motherly Sword returned to its original sharp appearance.
She said, "Then just watch carefully."
After she said this, she threw the sword in her hand away.
Gong Xichou thought that this was his ultimate move, so he did not dare to underestimate the enemy. He concentrated his energy and began to accumulate power in the halberd in his hand, ready to strike.
only-
The long sword that was thrown out did not shoot towards Gong Xichou's face, but strangely stopped halfway between the two. Shen Tang raised his hand and said in a sonorous and powerful voice: "All the generals, listen to my orders—"
Immediately afterwards, the corpses of the gentle giants that had been slaughtered by the soldiers led by Commander Gong Xichou actually began to move!
It transformed into the purest black and white energy and rushed towards the Motherly Sword madly. It was absorbed completely in an instant!
But that’s not enough!
It’s far from enough!
At this time, the allied forces discovered something was wrong.
The energy of heaven and earth around me seems...
The scholar in the white robe suddenly raised his head.
Gu Ren raised his hand and sensed it.
He murmured, "Has the energy of heaven and earth been drained away?"
Yes, the energy of heaven and earth within a certain range was forcefully drawn away, like a whale swallowing a dragon, and rushed towards the sword!
The whole process takes only two or three breaths.
Upon seeing this, Gong Xichou was excited but also looked solemn, realizing that the next move would not be simple!
Shen Tang did not disappoint his expectations.
"Qianshan—"
Two-word exit.
The surging black and white energy burst out from the sword.
In an instant, it condensed into thousands of sword shadows.
Shen Tang continued: "The bird flies away!"
Both armies looked at the dense sword shadows in unison.
My scalp is tingling!
Although the sword shadows were very vague and fuzzy, and the power of a single sword was not great, the lethality should be similar to that of an arrow condensed by an ordinary warrior, but there were tens of thousands of them! If ten thousand swords were fired at the same time, after two hard battles, Gong Xichou, who had lost nearly half of his strength, would not be able to withstand it.
Alliance leader Wu Xian stood up excitedly, holding the armrest.
Others also had a hint of anticipation.
Quick, quick, quick—
Kill Gongxichou!!!
However, some people are more sober.
For example, a scholar in a black shirt.
If you observe carefully, you will find that these sword shadows are very weak. Although their numbers look impressive, they are actually weak inside. It is obvious that they are not able to supply enough spiritual energy. If you force yourself to launch a complete attack, I am afraid that before Gong Xichou is injured, Master Shen will be seriously injured by the backlash!
Gu Chi and Kang Shi were even more so. They didn't even need to look at Shen Tang's condition or the sword shadows. Just by looking at Qi Shan spitting blood, they knew that it would be difficult for this move to exert even 10% of its power.
As expected, Shen Tang did not say the second half of the sentence.
It’s not that I don’t want to, but that I can’t.
Just thinking about it, his vision went dark. Shen Tang didn't want to pass out here and let an unknown person pick up his head.
She hardened her heart and gritted her teeth to start.
In an instant, thousands of sword shadows attacked the rebel camp like a rainstorm.
The first time is new, the second time is familiar.
Gong Xichou was well prepared.
Shen Tang’s last move was also aimed at the army.
A familiar scene is played out again.
More than 10,000 rebels shouted in unison: "Repulse!"
Although today was different from the time when Gongxi Qiu won three battles and killed one general, the morale of the army was still strong, even higher than that day. Because in addition to their high morale, they also had a bit more "anger and anger" and "death"!
Seeing the long-accumulated morale gathering above the army, covering the sky and the sun, Alliance Leader Wu Xian also took the opportunity to give the order to attack.
A loud horn sounded.
The morale of the alliance army had been dragged down for too long, jumping back and forth between highs and lows. Coupled with Gong Xichou's absolute strength that was like a god of death, the morale was relatively lower than that of the rebels. However, with Shen Tang's performance in the last game, the situation was much better than expected.
One army forms shields, the other army forms spears.
The Motherly Sword flew towards Gong Xichou to block his return for help, while the sword shadow fell towards the giant shield formed by the power of thousands of troops.
Shen Tang raised his hand to wipe the blood from the corner of his mouth.
Staring at the huge shield.
He said coldly: "Give! Me! Break! It!"
Thousands of sword shadows fell with the force of breaking the sky and splitting the earth.
Boom—
Boom—
As soon as the two came into contact, countless dense flames shot up into the sky.
The world was silent for a moment.
The ground shook, the wind howled, and the heat wave seemed to boil the air. The harsh sound of the collision mixed with the shouts of the two armies, and almost everyone's eyes turned red. I don't know if it was the firelight or the murderous intent aroused in their hearts.
Sizzle—
Sparks flying!
Shen Tang stood between the two armies.
She was not tall, but at this moment she gave people a feeling of loneliness, standing on the altar, and even gave people the illusion of submission. Finally, the huge shield could not bear the weight.
The dull "crack" sounded like a heavenly sound to Shen Tang. She watched with her own eyes as countless cracks spread wildly in all directions. The moment the sword shadow disappeared, the giant shield also shattered completely. Shen Tang's eyes lit up unexpectedly when she saw this.
Gong Xichou: “…”
The Motherly Sword that blocked him was just a feint.
Shen Tang has only one real goal.
That huge shield formed by the power of thousands of troops.
He couldn't help but think of the situation outside Xiaocheng that day.
Pouted: "Mama really doesn't hold grudges."
Shen Tang forced himself to watch the giant shield disappear.
The moment she disappeared, she had reached her limit.
He lost all his strength and fell forward.
A sharp-eyed rebel soldier shot an arrow at her, but before the arrow reached her, Shen Tang, who had not yet fallen to the ground, disappeared on the spot.
Gong Xichou's brows relaxed when he saw this.
Next time—
He will have a real victory!
